Canada identifies top potential export products

Farm Credit Canada, a federal crown corporation, has identified canola oil, prepared or preserved pork, potato products, prepared crab, and prepared or preserved beef as five products for the country to consider expanding value-added exports for. The products were selected because Canada produces and exports them in bulk, but is either too concentrated in certain markets or is losing market share. Asia and Europe were identified as markets to increase exports of pork, beef, canola oil, and potatoes, while East Asia was identified as a market to re-establish crab sales due to strong competition from Russia.
